Restaurants in the Amarillo area are able to open to 25% capacity. Some restaurants have decided to open under these guidelines, while others have kept their dining rooms closed, but are operating with take-out and delivery. The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce and Amarillo Convention & Visitor Council has worked diligently to create a comprehensive list of restaurants and the various ways they are still serving their delicious food. This list will be available on our website at www.VisitAmarillo.com/restaurants.

We are following CDC and governmental direction to work from home if able. Please do not hesitate to reach out, we are still available to you! Amarillo Convention & Visitor Council staff contact information can be found on our website at www.visitamarillo.com/about-amarillo-cvc/staff/.
